Category: Anti-cult Campaign
Renewed cult war between the Eiye confraternity and the Black Axe in Benin, Edo State has led to the death of three persons.
The cult war was said to have started near Oba market over issues of
ticketing between members of a task force alleged to have been engaged
by the state government and another group in the same area believed to
have been engaged by Oredo council.
Eyewitnesses confirmed that three persons, one in Erunmwense area off
Ekenwan Road, another by Lucky Way in Upper Mission road, a third near
Ogbe area and another near Ogida, were found dead.
It was learnt that one of the dead just finished his Masters degree programme from the University of Benin.
Meanwhile suspected cultists, Monday, attacked The Nation newspaper
reporter, Mr Ben Ogbemudia, along Eke Street, in Upper Sakpoba Road, in
Benin City.
Trouble was said to have started for Ogbemudia when the hoodlums
ordered him to repark his car which was near his wife’s residence.
According to him, he had reparked his car in the sandy street when
the suspected assailants in a Nissan Almera marked Edo DGE 382 AA with
three occupants identified simply as Emwanta, Adult and Osaretin
attacked him and inflicted a deep machete cut on his left hand.
He was later rushed to a private clinic and later reported the incident at St Saviour’s Police Station.
